The Life Before Her Eyes

Highschool shooting drama that aims to challenge the viewer's mind but ends up confusing it. The movie has a nice pace, is beautifully shot and delivers a good dramatic story. But the incessant flashbacks become annoying and I find the moralistic undertone that the slut deserves to die and the religious virgin girl deserves to live offensive. Wood delivers a star performance, as always. Thurman is overacting a little. It took me a long time to "decode" the ending, which is annoying and not a compliment for the storyline.
